The recently constructed 15th Street Cycle Track is looking picturesque during Washington DC's cherry blossom season! This cycle track fills what was previously a missing link across the National Mall, connecting Downtown with Northern Virginia.
Twice this weekend, vandals went after the @MassDOT Mass Ave bike lane pilot and threw traffic cones into the Charles River. This creates a hazard for all road users and is polluting the Charles. Anyone with information on this should contact law enforcement.

@pkoonce@NACTO @schlthss @dongho_chang @bikepedantic @pwbaxter @pattersonbri @kentslundberg The two approaches do not have the same street use context. The one on the left includes on street parking which forces the awkward angle in the bike lane entering the bike box. If the bike lane would enter the bike box straight on then bikes would likely stage left of cars.
From supporting local businesses to providing safer spaces to walk, bike, and gather, quick and creative street projects can have a big impact.
